Key features of the OM-D E-M10 14-42mm II R kit include:

Compact and light

Weighing in at just under 400g, the OM-D E-M10 is lightweight enough to carry around all day long. The E-M10 is housed in a bold, all-metal super-compact body that delivers the authentic aesthetic and robust finish of a top-of-the-range camera. Even with the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 14-42mm 1:3.5-5.6 lens attached, the E-M10 only measures 63.9mm from the viewfinder to the rim of the lens.

Quick and responsive

Time lag is not a problem with this camera. The EVF (electronic viewfinder) will quickly reproduce fast-moving scenes so you never miss a shot. The EVF, in combination with FAST AF (Olympus’s fastest auto focus to date) and high-speed sequential shooting, makes the EM10 well suited to shooting sport, animals and other fleeting subjects.

Create high quality HD movies

“We get many customers in store, both beginners and pros, who want to make documentaries and shorts on the go without carrying around all the equipment. The OM-D E-M10 solves this solution for filmmakers as it can make high quality HD movies, irrespective of the lens attached to the camera and the lighting conditions,” says Rachel Sgro, Manager at London’s Oxford Street store.

The adjustable, 3inch LCD screen can be tilted in a variety of angles for ergonomic freedom. Whether you are photographing high or down low, you can position the screen perfectly to accurately capture your subject.

Smart phone technology

The E-M10 comes with built-in WiFi, so it can communicate directly with compatible smartphones and send selected images directly to websites and social media. Alternatively, you can use your phone as a remote control to avoid accidentally nudging the camera during long exposures, simply pair your phone and camera using a QR code to mirror the LCD screen. This allows more control and focus whilst avoiding even the most minimal of nudges to the camera for perfect composition.
